Claremont Mckenna College is an amazing academic institution. Every student here is so passionate and loves to learn. Claremont has an incredible, close knit-community that is incredibly supportive. My professors all are so kind and involved. I love CMC! Sko nas!
First off, there is such a welcoming, tight-knit community on campus. At first, I was a bit worried about how small the school is, but I've grown to love it. I'm always making new friends and forming special bonds with classmates that I wouldn't have had at a larger school. Yes, there is a party scene here, but there's no pressure to conform. The students are very respectful, understanding, and caring here. We just have a work hard, play hard mentality and a generally outgoing student body. Also, the school truly does an amazing job at preparing its students for their future careers by challenging them to emerge as leaders and critical thinkers. The students that come to CMC are passionate, hard-working, and driven, and being surrounded by such people is incredibly inspirational. Coming to CMC was one of the best choices I've made. It really is a home away from home.
I am a rising sophomore at CMC and I can genuinely say I have enjoyed my experience so far. In my first year, I have learned and experienced a variety of academic and personal things about myself. There are a lot of points I would love to touch upon that 1000 characters simply cannot express, whether it be the caring faculty or the culture surrounding the Claremont Colleges (particularly CMC). However, for anyone who is curious as to what kind of a school CMC is, It can only best be described by its close-knit community. The student body is unique in the sense that you only have about 300 students from a diverse set of backgrounds per class, which will either be good or bad depending on the kind of experience you want. If you would like to be a random number and disappear, this would NOT be the school for you. In contrast, if you would like to create change at a school that progresses and challenges the world in various aspects, I recommend you to absolutely join CMC.
